If you have digital photos to share, please send them to Cam Bennett by Thursday at 4pm. The slides will be running before worship and during fellowship brunch after church. Also on August 25th: Sunday School for all ages! During worship, LAUREN ACHEN will give a presentation on her year in Cambodia. Growing Places My Small Group Experience Participating in small groups has helped me to get to know others in a deeper and more personable level. I also continue to learn more about myself and more importantly my faith journey has improved.    As Christians we need to continue to grow in our walk and attending small groups helps me and others to desire to put on the Whole Armour of God daily.    Participating verbally while in small groups is encouraged while at the same time passing is fine as well. We all agree that everything remains confidential.    Sign up for small groups, come and grow and fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ.    Peace and blessings  Mark Achen It is time to sign up for Small Groups! Growing Places begins the week of September 9th. Look for sign-ups in the sanctuary or for online sign-up, click here.

Seeking interest: Would a presentation on financial planning be helpful to you and your family? Please let Pastor Charlane know. Dear Friends in our family of Faith, Jim and I wish to thank you for the many cards, and spoken condolences after the passing of Jim's mom Betty. We are indeed blessed to have such supportive, loving friends at Faith. Through the long journey so many of you asked about Jim and Betty, and expressed your concern. Thank you very much, it was so very appreciated. Much love, Jim and Jennifer Thank you! Eric’s cast is off, replaced by a walking boot, but only for 2 weeks. Eric and I thank all the members of this church and specially the pastor for their support, cards, thoughts and prayers during this rather uncomfortable time.  It is making recovery easier.  In  gratitude, Eric and Trudy Weekly Bible Studies begin soon. Choose from Wednesday nights or Thursday mornings and join us for great conversation as we delve deeper into the scriptures.  This Fall we will be reading and discussing the parables of Jesus. Starting Wednesday, August 28, 6 pm  OR Thursday, August 29, 9 am. 3 Reasons to Visit FLC Each week I will publish 3 of the responses that we received from the congregation when we asked for 3 reasons why a new person should visit FLC. Uplifting community in faith and love of Jesus. Involvement in local community service. Spiritual exploration and growth. Sermon message. Extensive music. Young children's program. Friendly congregation. Welcoming - regardless of ethnicity or anything.  Youth Talk An end of the season warm thank you to the adults who volunteered to teach summer workshops: Carol Davies, Kathy Van Zuuk and Amy Dieter. Thank you to the families who supported the programs by bringing their kids, other people's kids and donating supplies. Sol had a great time at the Dieter's home for Lake Day! Thank you for hosting our crew. The day was so much fun. Sol is seeking donations of Christmas themed, cotton fabric to make stockings again for Placer County foster youth. Ideally, at least 1/4 yard in length. Thanks for supporting youth programming! Questions, ask Stacy. SEPTEMBER SAVE THE DATES September 1 is our back to Sol “Breakfast B4 Church” to be served to anyone in 6th-12th grade. It will serve as our monthly meeting for September. Adam will be gone that day so there is no conflict with Sunday discussion. Breakfast starts at 9:00am in the office kitchen. September 8 is God’s Work our Hands and what we’re doing is helping out with the community meal being offered to Meadow Vista. Our official Sol role is to help run the activities for children but there are many areas to help including set up and break down. My hope is that we will all support this. Right now this is a heads up, save the date.   And our “1 Night” activity being planned by Willow so far involves an excursion to Old Navy, Barnes & Noble and laser tag. She’s in Spain right now so more details to follow.   I want to thank you all for your enthusiastic support of the summer programming and prompt RSVPing. If you owe any money please plan to pay soon, as my quarterly report is due on the 15th.   Thanks again, Stacy Faith In Action Foresthill Family Camp Out Faith Lutheran Church 1115 Combie Road Meadow Vista 95722 530.878.1870 Copyright © *2019* *Faith Lutheran Church of Meadow Vista*, All rights reserved.
